Anniversary Fireworks

Soldiers watch fireworks on Israel's 66th Independence Day in this picture by Your Shot member Dor Kedmi.

"Often, fireworks are an easy capture because they are so over the top and eye-catching," wrote Your Shot editor Jeanne Modderman. "Dor made this a special and different image by using a low angle and shooting up towards the fireworks while framing them just so in between the soldiers."

Blacktip Shark After Dark

Your Shot member Imran Ahmad used strobe lights to illuminate a blacktip shark in this night shot in Aldabra Atoll, Seychelles.

National Geographic editor Jeanne Modderman noted: "What an elegant photograph. Imran used a specialized lighting setup and his hard work paid off; it isn't harsh or brash like some underwater photography can be."
